Don't Cry For Me

DON'T CRY FOR ME

Allow me time to weep
Give me space to grieve
The spring of joy has but for now become a well of tears.
My soul goes wandering to find itself again

Friends are here but for a time,
Soon they will go their separate ways
But tears instead have been my constant companion
Together with memories tenaciously they cling to me.

The emptiness that comes with grief
Just adds to the pain and loss we feel
My heart may be broken now
In time it will heal by God's grace

But my spirit, broken never let it be
For with it I must rise up in time to come
Carried up on wings of grace
Transcending this present storm

'Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is I never left you. '
Such goes the lyrics of the famous song
It's strange they mean so much now

In truth even though you're not here
You have never left us, my love
You'll always remain in our hearts
Your memory eternally etched in our minds.

Our hearts still weep
Even though time may pass
In the quietness of the night
Hear now the cry of this broken heart.
